By AIT News Desk On Jan 23, 2020

Leading Experts From Cancer Centers, Start-Ups, Technology, Private Equity, Innovation Centers, Pharma and Government Will Gather in Boston, March 29-31, 2020

AI and Big Data in Cancer: From Innovation to Impact, a new conference from Elsevier, a global information and analytics business specializing in science and health, will bring together experts from all aspects of cancer research and the digital medicine value chain to understand how to translate artificial intelligence and data-driven innovations into new clinical care practices for patients. These leaders, including 2018 Nobel laureate for Medicine, Dr. James Allison, will share pragmatic insights on finding the right partners to move innovations successfully forward.

“It is time to shift Elsevier our conversation from ‘what-technology-can-do’ to ‘what-medicine-needs’ and to raise awareness of what else is necessary to translate an AI-enabled and data-driven innovation into a marketed product,” said Dr. Lynda Chin, Conference Chair, Founder and CEO of Apricity Health and Professor at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas, USA. “Understanding what these hurdles are is the first step to overcoming them.

“The aim of this conference is to bring innovators together with stakeholders, from patients, clinicians and developers to regulators, payers and investors, so they can network and identify collaborators who can help them accelerate the translation of their innovation into clinical practices,” Dr. Chin said.
